As I built jigs to protect fingers and did the dance steps of set-up, cut, measure and then tweak for a perfect fit I kept thinking if I did this by hand I would have been done. <br /><br />Funny thing is through it all I never really felt like I got time to do any woodworking.Nathan Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09429962938670739507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672429826561258985.post-35590075665751318372016-12-09T23:14:48.715-06:002016-12-09T23:14:48.715-06:00Well said sir!Well said sir!skoonzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578804915455759144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672429826561258985.post-91286398500341718702016-12-09T17:56:14.489-06:002016-12-09T17:56:14.489-06:00I feel pretty silly at the hoops I used to jump th...I feel pretty silly at the hoops I used to jump through with power tools to achieve a simple result. I like to recall a conversation I saw on a prominent woodworking forum one time on how to chamfer the edges of dog holes. There was this long line of suggestions on making jigs for routers, etc etc, then this guy says &quot;or you could just use a file.&quot;<br /><br />Boom. Mic drop. Just use a file. Says it all right there.Derek Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919744398323462327noreply@blogger.com
